#botm picks for September! I'm super excited to see Rachel Harrison as a pick; I've read all of her books & loved them. She's also from close to my hometown!
July wrap-up! I only finished 5 books in July, most of them physical, including 2 #botm picks.
🥇Land of Milk & Honey
🥈A Rivalry of Hearts
🥉A Sorceress Comes to Call
Very belated June wrap-up! I read 11 books in June, which makes it my best reading month of the year so far. I kept my reading solely focused on LGBTQIA+ reads, my annual June tradition 🌈
🥇Eat the Ones You Love
🥈The Knight & the Butcherbird
🥉A Taste of Gold & Iron
Finally past the halfway point for the 2025 #botm reading challenge!
My #botm picks for August! Both of these were on my TBR so I'm happy.
Belated May wrap-up 📚 I finished 8 books last month:
🥇Not in Love
🥈Natural Beauty
🥉Dream On, Ramona Riley
#botm picks for June! Both of these are high on my most anticipated list for 2025 😄
I skipped for the 2nd month in a row for May! None of the picks interested me, although there are about a million new releases in May from my TBR that weren't #botm picks 😂 I do still have a bunch of older BOTM books on my TBR shelf that I should be catching up on...
I'm 1/3 of the way done with the 2025 #botm reading challenge! Both The Ministry of Time & We Could Be Rats were 5⭐️ reads.
I wasn't into any of the main picks for #botm for April, so I skipped even though I really want to get my hands on Gifted & Talented by Olivie Blake. Fingers crossed for some good picks in May!!!
March wrap-up! I finished 8 books this month, including 3 new releases, 2 #botm picks, and a short story collection.
🥇We Could Be Rats
🥈Tender is the Flesh
🥉Project Hail Mary
Belated Feb wrap-up! I finished 8 books in Feb, mostly ebooks/audiobooks.
🥇The Hurricane Wars
🥈The Deal - already picked up another Elle Kennedy book since I liked it so much!
🥉Such a Fun Age
January reading wrap-up 📚 I finished 6 books this month, 3 of which were 5⭐️ reads and one a re-read of an all-time favorite (In Other Lands).
🥇The Ministry of Time
🥈Stamped From the Beginning
🥉Potions, Poisons, and Policies
#botm pick for Feb! This one sounds really intriguing. I also had my eye on 2 add-ons (Water Moon and You Between the Lines) & it's annoying that you can't get add-ons when your main pick is an audiobook. Gotta wait for March I guess 🤷🏼♀️
October wrap-up 🎃 I finished 7 books this month.
🥇Nineteen Claws and a Black Bird
🥈Two Can Play
🥉Make the Season Bright
June wrap-up!
🥇The Haunting of Velkwood
🥈Going Bicoastal
🥉Late Bloomer
Belated May wrap-up!
🥇Truly, Madly, Deeply
🥈You, Again

Halfway through the year and (almost) halfway done with the yearly #botm reading challenge!
April wrap-up 📚
🥇All the Hidden Paths
🥈Dominoes
🥉At First Spite
May TBR! 📚📚📚 It would be great it I could actually stick to a tbr for once, since I genuinely think I will really like all of these.
(Extremely belated) March Wrap-up!
🥇Crying in H Mart
🥈The Centre
🥉Interesting Facts About Space
Belated Feb wrap-up! I finished 5 books, but was in a reading slump and nonfiction audio was mainly what I was able to focus on.
🥇How the Word is Passed
🥈Magic Claims
🥉The Second
January wrap-up 📚 I finished 11 books and had a great kickoff to the reading year!

My #botm picks for November! I'm really excited about these, and I added the new Jesmyn Ward to my tbr to maybe add on next month.
I wanted to participate in Dewey's 24-hour readathon, but I did a clinic today and was exhausted afterwards. I have Monday off though, so I'm still hoping to do a belated sorta-readathon. #weekendreads @rachelsbrittain
Great timing for a readathon - I have 2 audiobooks and 2 physical books I want to make a lot of progress on.
#outstandingoctober @Andrew65
September wrap-up! I finished 9 books, most of them fall-ish reads.
🥇The Atlas Paradox
🥈Such Sharp Teeth
October TBR 🔮👻🧛🏻♀️🧙♀️🎃🐺🍂
My October #botm picks! I was swayed by reviews to pick both.
Felt so peaceful getting to read on my roof after work. Also loving this book.
